　　A Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship allowed her to spend her 　3　year studying abroad in Manchester,England.Away from the family and 　4　from them,she found herself one day sitting at her desk,surrounded by biology books and staring out the window,when it suddenly hit her:“I’m in total 　5　.I don’t want to be a vet!” 

　　　6　she thought back over all the things she’d done in her life and what had made her happy.And then it hit her—it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered 　7　,and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State.“How could I have been so　8　?Here I’m in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I’m on the 　9　path.I just never took the time to 　10　it until now,” she thought.

　　1.A.surgeon　B.doctor

　　C.vet D.nurse

　　解析:由文章首句“Emily从小就是一个动物迷”以及该段最后的“vet”一词可知。

　　答案:C

　　2.A.For B.But

　　C.Or D.So

　　解析:既然人们对于Emily将来成为兽医寄予厚望,因此当她上大学以后自然就选修生物学、解剖学及化学等课程。由前后句的语意可知,空格处应填入so表示“因此”。

　　答案:D

　　3.A.usual B.final

　　C.first D.past

　　解析:由下文第8空后的“Here I’m in my fourth year...”以及第14空后的“it took her two years longer to finally graduate.”可知,该空应选择final,即大学最后一年有了出国学习的机会。

　　答案:B

　　4.A.routine B.warning

　　C.pressure D.complaint

　　解析:结合常识,Emily离开家乡出国学习之前,家里人自然是千叮咛万嘱托让她好好学习,将来有所成就,所以她是有压力(pressure)的。

　　答案:C

　　5.A.misery B.silence

　　C.confidence D.surprise

　　解析:由下句“我不想成为一名兽医”可知,此处表达的应是“我完全处于痛苦之中”,也就是说,Emily不想成为兽医,却为了成为一名兽医一直在付出。这显然是令Emily感到痛苦的事情。

　　答案:A

　　6.A.Perhaps B.Then

　　C.Instead D.Often

　　解析:因为有了上述想法,所以她就回想以前生活中所有做过的事情以及那些让她感到愉快的事情。

　　答案:B

　　C.at D.on

　　解析:此处应选择介词at与前面的conference构成短语,表示“开会”。

　　答案:C

　　8.A.innocent B.intelligent

　　C.intellectual D.ignorant

　　解析:此处指Emily后悔当初的选择,怪自己以前是多么无知,故用ignorant。

　　答案:D

　　9.A.wrong B.clear

　　C.short D.wide

　　解析:由上文语境可知,作者真正感兴趣的是交际和管理方面的课程,而不是有关兽医的课程。故此处表达的应是“我怎么一直这样无知呢?现在我都上大四了,仅仅在最后我才意识到我所走的路一直都是错误的(即:我一直在学习我不感兴趣的东西)”。

　　答案:A

　　10.A.include B.accomplish

　　C.acknowledge D.criticize

　　解析:句意:“直到现在我才承认这一点。”

　　答案:C

　　11.A.discovery B.understanding

　　C.information D.research

　　解析:既然上文提到Emily已经意识到了这个情形,所以她在国外学交际等课程自然是受到对于自己重新认识的激励。

　　答案:B

　　12.A.relating B.referring

　　C.returning D.responding

　　解析:结合下文,此处表达的是她在国外学完以后返回(return)到Ohio State。

　　答案:C

　　13.A.prepare B.force

　　C.forbid D.convince

　　解析:句意:“她说服了管理部门让她创办自己的‘领导研究’”课题。”prepare“准备”;force“强迫”;forbid“禁止”;convince“说服”。

　　答案:D

　　14.A.as B.though

　　C.once D.if

　　解析:由上下文可知,作者是在学习兽医课程的过程中转修交际等课程,所以她的毕业时间相应延长,即使这样她还是坚持下去。

　　答案:B

　　15.A.hesitated B.failed

　　C.retired D.continued

　　解析:句意:“她后来继续成了五角大楼的领导力培训与发展课程的一名高级管理顾问。”

　　答案:D

　　16.A.still B.also

　　C.again D.only

　　解析:上文第13空后提到她创办了“领导研究”计划,此处表明她又(also)创办了一个“毒品预防”组织。

　　答案:B

　　17.A.leaves B.conveys

　　C.comments D.acquires

　　解析:此处指她创办的“毒品预防”组织向人们传递了这样的信息。故此处应用conveys表示“传递”。

　　答案:B

　　18.A.will B.chance

　　C.fact D.pride

　　解析:此处表明她创办的“毒品预防组织”传递的信息是“凭借自己的技能去过属于自己的生活,要有意志说‘不’”。

　　答案:A

　　19.A.promises B.requests

　　C.successes D.dreams

　　解析:句意:“绝不能生活在别人的梦(dream)里”。此处提到的梦与第一段的内容完全一致。

　　答案:D

　　20.A.smiles B.reasons

　　C.choices D.mistakes

　　解析:句意:“如果你把你的人生选择仅仅局限在表面看来有道理的事情上,那么你就会与你真正想成为的人失之交臂。”

　　.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

　　Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV,start their chores(杂事),or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.Before you know it,you’ve started to sound like a broken recorder as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments,clean their room,or take out the trash.

　　Rather than saying “Do your chores now,”you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed.So instead of arguing about starting chores,just say,“If chores aren’t done by 4 pm,here are the consequences.”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores.Put the ball back in their court.Don’t argue or fight with them.Just say,“That’s the way it’s going to be.”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive.“If your chores aren’t done by 4 pm,then no video game time until chores are done.And if finishing those chores runs into homework time,that’s going to be your loss.”

　　On the other hand,when dealing with homework,keep it very simple.Have a time when homework starts,and at that time,all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done.If your kids say they have no homework,then they should use that time to study or read.Either way,there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.

　　When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him,make no bones about it;he is not ignoring you;he is disrespecting you.At that point,everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears.Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing head phones—even if he tells you he can hear you.Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect.Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing.Remember,mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.

　　1.According to the passage,it seldom happens that 　. 

　　A.kids turn a deaf ear to their parents’ requests

　　B.parents’ directions sound like a broken record

　　C.children are ready to follow their parents’ directions

　　D.parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids

　　解析:细节理解题。注意题干中seldom表否定。由文章开头“Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV,start their chores(杂事),or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.”可知孩子们通常不理会父母的要求,故选C项,孩子们很少愿意接受家长的指令。A、B、D三项都是经常发生的,与seldom相矛盾,故排除。

　　答案:C

　　2.Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they 　. 

　　A.avoid direct ways of punishment

　　B.make them do things at their request

　　C.argue and fight with their children

　　D.allow their children to behave in their own way

　　解析:细节理解题。由第二段的“Don’t argue or fight with them.Just say,“That’s the way it’s going to be.”It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive.”可知,作者认为“不与孩子发生正面冲突,指令应该是建议性的而不是惩罚性的,会取得更好的教育效果”,故A项正确,不要直接惩罚孩子。其他项不符合文意,故排除。

　　答案:A

　　3.When the kid is doing his homework,parents 　. 

　　A.should provide him with a good learning environment

　　B.can do whatever they like

　　C.can stay aside watching TV

　　D.must switch off the power

　　解析:细节理解题。由第三段第二句“Have a time...done.”可知“在孩子做作业时,家长要关掉所有的电器给孩子创造一个良好的学习环境”。B项“做任何事”,C项“看电视”和D项“关掉电源”均与文章不符,故排除。

　　答案:A

　　4.The main idea of the passage is 　. 

　　A.that respecting each other is more important than anything else

　　B.how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents

　　C.that children should make choices and decisions on their own

　　D.how parents can deal with their kids’ behavior more effectively

　　解析:主旨大意题。A项不是全文的中心,B项是现象,用来引出下文,C项是父母应该给予孩子自主的权利,是家长应该做的其中一项,均不是文章的主旨,而D项父母如何能更有效地应对孩子的行为,是文章要表达的中心,故选D项。

　　答案:D
